Perks are coming to Battlefield 1 soon

Apparently, perks or “Specializations-with-a-z” were present in the earlier Battlefield titles, but have fallen out of use in subsequent games. Now, I don’t remember those, but I do know that perks add an interesting element to other games like Call of Duty. Now over on Reddit, DICE has explained that “soon” they’ll be testing multiple specialisations in Battlefield 1‘s PC CTE (community test environment). These include seven “generic” specialisations that are available to all classes and two class-specific specialisations for each class. A list detailing all of those below.

All 15 of the specialisations will be unlocked for everyone playing on the CTE, but when implemented into the full game, “all players will start with 3 Specializations by default: Flak, Cover and Quick Regen”. Other specialisations will then be unlocked “via completion of new Service Assignments (coming to all players with the In the Name of the Tsar expansion)”. DICE adds that details about these assignments will be revealed at a later date.

According to the blurb, these are just the start, as more specialisations are planned to be added in “future updates”. The game’s next expansion, In the Name of the Tsar is expected to launch sometime in September.
